Unhappy No signal!!

Hi all,
Newbie here, recently purchased my E46 M3 convertable and I must say I haven't stopped smiling everytime I drive it.

One slight problem though, when it was delivered it had no sat nav disc! with a quick call to the dealer one was sent out. On arrival I popped it in the DVD player in the boot and all was fine, entered car position set a route and off I went only to find the sat nav goes in one direction and I go another??

Now the dealer is being very unhelpful, Im sure its a reception problem( As the TV will not pick up any stations also), is there any way i can check this on the sat nav or a proceedure to reboot the system? Or any help whatsoever lol or will the wallet have to come out again lol.

Thanks

TV: check you are set to the correct country setting

Nav: go into nav service mode and check GPS data. Report the GPS status that you see

Service mode:
Press MENU
Select Settings
Press and hold MENU until service mode appears

Hi John i have the same problem on my 330d.

Here post i just put up, copied from bmwland:

Hi all;
Well i have just pulled the fuses out so lets see what happens. This is the info im getting of the on board computer:



As you can see says searching for Satalites, was this point to arieal?

If so is this the arieal connection on the back of the DVD drive?


What are these connections to on one of the silver computers?

And last question which one of these is the GPS unit? Or is it just the DVD drive?

Which is the connection for the GPS antenna? Is it part of the "shark fin" on the roof?

No, sharkfin is phone only.

GPS antenna is under the rerar parcel tray, on the left-hand side, just beside the rear window.

You have to remove the parcel tray to access the antenna.
